Abstract
This article extends the concepts of Quick Switching Variables Sampling Systems [QSVSS (nTσ, nNσ;
k)] involving a minimum sum of risks when the sample size is tightening. The operating procedure and
a table is given for finding the QSVSS(nTσ, nNσ; k) involving minimum sum of risks for specified
Acceptable Quality Level and Limiting Quality Level.
Keywords: Quick Switching System, Variables Sampling, Acceptable Quality Level (AQL), Limiting
Quality Level (LQL) and Minimum Sum of Risks
Introduction
Acceptance sampling is lead to quality standard and inspection rules. The inspection rules
may give several kinds of plans. In acceptance sampling, many sampling will be handled, but
two are used major areas, viz, attributes and variables sampling. Quick Switching Sampling
System is regarded as high efficient protocol for acceptance sampling. Previously, it was
proposed by Dodge (1967) [2] and it was further investigated by various authors, Romboski
(1969) [10] and Govindaraju (1991) [4]. It was also examined by Taylor (1996) [13] to identify a
method to evaluate and select Quick Switching Sampling System. As the base to the above
arguments, in 1957 Golub Abraham described the designing of single sampling inspection
plan for fixed sample size, which was noticed as the sampling plan involving minimum sum
of risks. Govindaraju and Subramani (1990a) [5] have constructed tables for selection of
single sampling quick switching systems (QSS-1) for given Acceptable Quality Level and
Limiting Quality Level. The author (1990b) [6] also provided the table which is used to select
an MDS-1 plan for given AQL (p1) and LQL (p2) with minimum sum of risks. Palanivel
(1999) [9] has constructed the table on Quick Switching Variables Single Sampling (QSVSS)
Systems. Senthilkumar and Sivakumaran (2004) [11] have constructed the table for selection
of minimum risk single sampling quick switching system QSS-1(n; c1, c2) by attributes. In
later Senthilkumar at el (2013) [12] have constructed the procedure for QSVSS (n; kT, kN) for
involving minimum sum of risk.
This paper provides the concepts of Quick Switching Variables Sampling Systems [QSVSS
(nTσ, nNσ; k)] involving a minimum sum of risks for specified Acceptable Quality Level and
Limiting Quality Level.
Quick Switching Variables Sampling System of Type QSVSS (nTσ, nNσ; k)
The conditions and the assumptions under which the QSVSS scheme can be applied are as
follows:
Conditions for Application
 Production is steady, so that results on current, preceding and succeeding lots are
broadly indicative of a continuing process.
 Lots are submitted substantially in the order of production.
 Inspection is by variables, with the quality being defined as the fraction of non-
conforming.
 The sample units are selected from a large lot and production is continuous.
 The production process should be depends on automation and manhandling the process
is very limited.

Basic Assumptions
 The quality characteristic is represented by a random
variable X measured on a continuous scale.
 Distribution of X is normal with mean and Standard
Deviation.
 An upper limit U, has been specified and a product is
qualified as defective when X>U. [When the lower limit
L is Specified, the product is a defective one if X<L].
 The Purpose of inspection is to control the fraction
defective, p in the lot inspected.
When the conditions listed above are satisfied the fraction
defective in a lot will be defined by
p= 1-F (v) =F (-v)
with v= (U-) /
y 1
e Z /2dz

and F(y)   (1)
 2π
Where Z ~ N (0, 1). It is to be recalled here that the criterion
for the  -method variable plan is to accept the lot if x + k
σ  U, where U is the upper specification limit or x - k σ
L, where L is the lower specification limit. The operating
procedure of QSVSS (nTσ,nNσ;k) is described below.
Operating Procedure
The steps involved in this procedure are as follows
Step 1. Under normal inspection, draw a sample of size nNσ
from the lot, inspect and record the measurement of
the quality characteristic for each unit of the sample.
Compute the sample mean x . Where x N =  x i
nN
Step 2. i) if x N  k σ   U or x N - k σ   L accept the lot
and repeat step 1 for the next lot.
ii) if x N  k σ   U or x N - k σ   L reject the lot
go to step 3.
Step 3. Under tightened inspection, draw a sample of size nTσ
from the next lot, inspect and record the
measurement of the quality characteristic for each
unit of the sample. Compute the sample mean x .
Where x T =  x i .
nT
Step4. i) if x T  k σ   U or x T - k σ   L accept the lot
and repeat step 1 for the next lot.
ii) if x T  k σ   U or x T - k σ   L reject the lot go
to step 3.
Where nNσ and nTσ are the sample sizes of normal and
tightened sampling, variable plans respectively, and k is the
acceptance constant under σ-method. Where x and σ are the
average quality characteristic and standard deviation
respectively. The quick switching variables sampling system
as defined QSVSS (nTσ,  nNσ; k). As thetightened plan sample
size nTσ is greater than the normal plan sample size nNσ, for
designing the QSVS system nTσ is fixed as a multiple of nNσ.  sizes nNσ and nTσ of QSVSS (nTσ,  nNσ; k). For example, for
i.e. nTσ = m nNσ, where m >1.
Operating Characteristic Function
According to Romboski (1969) [10], the OC function of QSS
is given by
PT
Pa (p)  (2)
1 P  P
N T
~ 105 ~
[10]
Based on the OC function of the QSS Romboski (1969)
the OC function of QSVSS (nTσ, nNσ; k) can be written as
(w T )
Pa (p)            (3)
1  (w N )  (w T )
With
w T  n Tσ (U  k σ  μ)/σ  (v  k σ ) n Tσ
w N  n Nσ (U  k σ  μ)/σ  (v  k σ ) n Nσ
v  (U  μ)/σ
Under the assumption of normal approximation of the non-
central t distribution (Abramowitz and Stegun, 1964) [1], the
values of PN and PT are respectively given by
PN  F(w N )  pr[(U  x)/σ  k σ ] (4)
PT  F(w T )  pr[(U  x)/σ  k σ ] (5)
Where, PN and PT are the proportions of lots expected to be
accepted using normal (nNσ, k) and tightened (nTσ, k)
variables sampling plans respectively. These two equations
are applied to the OC function of QSVSS (nTσ,  nNσ; k). We
get the following
Pr[(U  x)/σ  kσ ]
Pa (p)  (6)
1 Pr[(U  x)/σ  kσ ]  Pr[(U  x)/σ  kσ ]
If Pa(p1) and Pa(p2) are

Pr[(U  x)/σ  kσ ] (8) 
Pa (p2 )  β
1 Pr[(U  x)/σ  kσ ]  Pr[(U  x)/σ  kσ ]
The expression for the sum of Producer’s and consumer’s
risks is given by
α +β =1-Pa (p1) +Pa (p2 ) (9)
For given AQL and LQL, the parametric values of QSVSS
namely k, the sample sizes nNσ, nTσ, α and β are determined
by using a computer search.
A procedure for QSVSS (nTσ,  nNσ; k) System involving
Minimum sum of the risks
From table 1, a procedure for designing of Quick Switching
Variables Sampling Systems involving Minimum sum of
risks for the given values of AQL and LQL is indicated
below.
Table 1 is used to select the QSVSS for given values of
(AQL, 1-α), (LQL, β). The plan given here have the
